Start of a long road.

Howdy gang,today I spent some serious quality time with my pastel eliminator.I know it's a cleveland car but this area needs stuff on it also!I stripped the interior out of it and found an almost readable build sheet stuffed behind the dash,BONUS.I saw some of the original floor and paint,man is this a weird color or what?A lot of my trim,hardware & stuff can be re-used,door panels, back seats are good.Also collected 82 cents in old money towards restoration!Kinda got depressed after seeing too much of the garage floor looking through the floorpans.That was enuogh for today.I'll keep you updated,Dave.Bosscat40

Bosscat40.  If you need any info on your build,let me know, I have restored a few of these.

Fastcat, how do you restore them?  mine is very complete but stained very brown, almost like oil soaked look?
Thanks

Thanks for the heads up 1fastcat. I think this will be a steady deal, and if anything pops up I'm sure all the great people will help with advice.Right now in WI we're hunkering down for "The Geat Blizzard of ought 10"! Weatherman guarantees we'll get anywhere from 0 to 30 inches!That means I have time to memorize all six 1970 shop manuals before I dig myself out.So, No Worries friends.P.S. This color still weirds me out, but man way cool.Dave,Bosscat40

Howdy guys, I just got off the phone with another Merc freak from Ohio that I met tonight. I got a couple of cougar parts on the way.Little stuff but as they say,one foot in front of the other! N.O.S rear spoiler underside brackets real good deal.I hooked him up with some Cyclone spoiler stuff thats been around for awhile.I'll try to figure out how to put pictures on this Da*n computer yet! Dave.

SuperCJcat, I have taken a small pan the size of the build sheet and used wax and grease remover that you can buy at the paint store, put your build sheet in the pan and soak it in the wax and grease remover until it comes as clean as it will get, then take it out an dry it on paper towels.  The oil soaked is from the underlayment, if your sheet is from rust,this won't help much.
